Where do you see that?  The bios have timing info for 1024x768 only:

(II) RADEON(0): Panel ID string: 1024x768
(II) RADEON(0): Panel Size from BIOS: 1024x768
(II) RADEON(0): BIOS provided dividers will be used.

in your newer log, you force the panel size:
(**) RADEON(0): Panel size is forced to: 1400x1050

which attempts to do the right thing based on the current state of the
hardware, but there is no other timing info in the bios.
